As the end of the season approaches, the Falcons and Panthers are in similar form. Both are on the brink of the playoffs and maintain a 5-7 record. The Panthers just fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady; I think it’s to provide sparks for the offense. Or it may be Matt Rhule's verbal promise to run the ball, which may not be Brady's expertise. Either way, it would be foolish to assume that they are now turning the situation around with such a bad pass blocking the offensive line and poor quarterback performance.

But things in Atlanta are not much better. Atlanta gave up more than 200 yards in its first game with Carolina. This is one of the six consecutive games that Dean Pease's team has given up more than 100 yards. They gave up the second most points in every game, but somehow they played better than offense. For several different reasons, Matt Ryan and Arthur Smith have not fully found their rhythm in recent weeks. Nothing clicks at the same time; at least one aspect of offense seems to always be missing-offensive line errors, lack of separation of receivers, quarterback errors, etc.

This is a meeting of two ugly big teams and they will have to win this game on the ground. Both teams will try to impose their will on each other, which may boil down to who wants it more. Earlier this week, the Falcons started with a three-point disadvantage in the away game against the Panthers, but Carolina started as low as -2.5 at some betting shops and dropped to-soon after hitting the board. 3. Falcons +3 also has many advantages--118.

After an unforgettable Halloween matchup, the Falcons and Panthers may put on a performance worth watching on Sunday, but that shouldn’t stop us from taking action here; there is always a chance. Carolina won the first game with a score of 19-13 in the first game. He scored 4 shots and made 47 painful passes from a distance of 203 yards. Since then, Brady has been fired, and Ruhr has been bluntly regaining possession of the ball, so guess what they will do. We know that Atlanta's defense is doubtful in many ways.

On the contrary, the Carolina defense is a respected unit, despite giving up a total of 53 points in the past two weeks. They are an active lightning force because they have talent on the back end. The Panthers brought an extra pass rusher for at least a third of their opponents' turnovers, and created a lot of pressure when they did so, which was evident in their 32 sacks. This is bad news for the struggling Atlanta offensive line.

This won't be a beautiful game, but I might choose the home favorite-just because Atlanta's offense looks like a complete failure. But then again, the Carolina offense is not a strong team. The real gameplay here is not to bet on spreads, but to total points.

Carolina and Atlanta have stayed below the total score in 13 of the past 17 head-to-head games. Due to the Falcons' offensive struggle and the Panthers' blind commitment to running the ball, this may be a difficult game to watch. In the past six weeks, Atlanta has only scored more than 3 touchdowns-5 out of 6 Anderson bats during this time.
